🇮🇶 Eröffnung eines Bankkontos in Iraq

Iraq's banking sector is fragmented and underdeveloped. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) regulates the sector. State-owned banks (Rafidain, Rashid) dominate but are slow and bureaucratic. Private banks exist but international correspondent banking relationships are limited due to sanctions risk and compliance concerns. Opening a corporate account requires registration documents, passport copies, and a detailed business plan. In-person presence is usually required. The Kurdistan Region has somewhat more accessible banking through banks like the International Development Bank and Kurdistan International Bank. For significant international transactions, most companies maintain parallel accounts in Jordan, UAE, or Turkey.
